<v Speaker 1>Today was Championship Wednesday on Dynamite. We had four title

<v Speaker 1>matches on this show. We had the AW World title,

<v Speaker 1>we had the AW Women's Tag team titles. We had

<v Speaker 1>the AW International Championship. Actually that's three championships. I said four.

<v Speaker 1>Did they have four? I don't know. We had tons

<v Speaker 1>of championship matches that were announced in advance of this show,

<v Speaker 1>and it felt like this was some sort of special episode,

<v Speaker 1>but they really just decided Tony did to load it

<v Speaker 1>up with a bunch of title matches. So that's what

<v Speaker 1>they did here tonight. No big title changes to talk

<v Speaker 1>about here, but we had Darby Allen putting his title

<v Speaker 1>on the line in the main event against Brody King,

<v Speaker 1>and these two have a history together. Usually it's not

<v Speaker 1>very kind to Darby. They get in the ring together,

<v Speaker 1>Darby gets his ass handed to him. Tonight was no different,

<v Speaker 1>nor was the outcome of Big Surprise. I've been saying

<v Speaker 1>this for a few weeks now, you know, ever since

<v Speaker 1>they put the belt on Darby to become pretty clear

<v Speaker 1>that he's going to be defending this championship every single

<v Speaker 1>week through the end of the month, through the end

<v Speaker 1>of May, until we get to double do nothing and

<v Speaker 1>then at that point he will lose the championship. One

<v Speaker 1>would think back to MJF. But until we get there,

<v Speaker 1>we're gonna have title defense after title defense after title defense,

<v Speaker 1>and that will play into the story. I'm sure when

<v Speaker 1>he ultimately loses the championship, because what is he doing.

<v Speaker 1>It's the Orange Cassidy story when Orange Cassidy was the

<v Speaker 1>International Champion and he was defending every week on TV

<v Speaker 1>and every body part right was just hurting him. And

<v Speaker 1>this man looked like he was eighty years old walking around, right,

<v Speaker 1>How long could this guy go defending this championship at

<v Speaker 1>this breakneck pace? But I think they're going to condense

<v Speaker 1>the story and basically tell the same story here with Darby,

<v Speaker 1>So that's what it looks like we're going to be getting.

<v Speaker 1>We did have a TNT Championship match at the beginning

<v Speaker 1>of the show with the Jet Kevin Knight putting his

<v Speaker 1>title on the line against MJF. Now, when we found

<v Speaker 1>out about this match last week, if you remember, Darby

<v Speaker 1>had made a comment he said, I'm not giving you

<v Speaker 1>a rematch. You want to rematch for the World Championship,

<v Speaker 1>You're gonna have to put something on the line, right,

<v Speaker 1>That's what he told Darby, And my first instinct was, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>they're putting the TNT title on MJF. And I have

<v Speaker 1>no idea why they would do this, because what does

<v Speaker 1>MJF realistically have to give Darby or to put up

<v Speaker 1>in a match with Darby that Darby would really give

<v Speaker 1>a shit about. Right, Darby doesn't care about the Dynamite

<v Speaker 1>Diamond ring, he doesn't care about the Birdberry scar if

<v Speaker 1>he doesn't care about the fancy cars. They're gonna put

<v Speaker 1>this TNT title on this fucking guy, and we're gonna

<v Speaker 1>have a champion versus champion match at the pay per view,

<v Speaker 1>and I really hope that doesn't happen. Thankfully they didn't

<v Speaker 1>do that. That was the thing I was happiest with

<v Speaker 1>tonight is the fact that they did not put the

<v Speaker 1>TNT title ONF. I was glad that those fears were unfounded.

<v Speaker 1>But what we ended up with was a hell of

<v Speaker 1>an opening match and a hell of a closing match.

<v Speaker 1>They started and they ended in the best possible way,

<v Speaker 1>because you had two matches that delivered and we got

<v Speaker 1>some other stuff in between. That was kind of a

<v Speaker 1>mixed bag. But I was really impressed with that opening match.

<v Speaker 1>I was really impressed, honestly with the crowd tonight. Now,

<v Speaker 1>they also had Coping Christian on this show. Very rare

<v Speaker 1>that we see Adam Copeland and Christian Cage wrestling together

<v Speaker 1>on television. In fact, I can't remember the last time

<v Speaker 1>that they had a tag team match together on TV.

<v Speaker 1>So we had that as well. They had over fifty

<v Speaker 1>two hundred people in the building tonight. They were in Fairfax,

<v Speaker 1>Virginia for the show, and that sounded very high to me.

<v Speaker 1>You know, when you hear about these Dynamite crowds and

<v Speaker 1>the Dynamite attendants. So I jumped on wrestle ticks before.

<v Speaker 1>I wanted to see how many people were going to

<v Speaker 1>be in the because I'm watching this opening match and

<v Speaker 1>it's super fucking loud in there, and like the people

<v Speaker 1>are into it, and I'm like, Okay, I wonder how

<v Speaker 1>many people are there. Tonight's Dynamite crowd was their largest

<v Speaker 1>domestic attendance for a Dynamite since Grand Slam in September

<v Speaker 1>of twenty twenty four. It beat every domestic Dynamite that

<v Speaker 1>they did in attendance in all of twenty twenty five.

<v Speaker 1>That's pretty crazy. And they were in Virginia, so they

<v Speaker 1>didn't even have Hangman there. You would think maybe, you know,

<v Speaker 1>they would be promoting his return or something on this show.

<v Speaker 1>He wasn't even on the show. But good for them,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, by aw standards in terms of Dynamite attendance,

<v Speaker 1>that's a fucking great number and you would hope that

<v Speaker 1>they would be able to build on that. But what

<v Speaker 1>it tells you is that they're doing something right now,

<v Speaker 1>something that they weren't doing six months ago, something that

<v Speaker 1>they weren't doing nine months ago or twelve months ago.

<v Speaker 1>So what is it? What is it that is eating

<v Speaker 1>to them seeing these increases in the houses from week

<v Speaker 1>to week right Something is resonating, something is clicking. They

<v Speaker 1>have a lot of issues still and that they're very

<v Speaker 1>much you know, it's an imperfect, you know product, but

<v Speaker 1>they're doing something that is at least keeping people tuned

<v Speaker 1>in and keeping people who are watching the show keeping

<v Speaker 1>their attention and saying, hey, you know what, I'm interested

<v Speaker 1>in this. I think it all goes back to the

<v Speaker 1>world title scene. This has been the case since MJF

<v Speaker 1>had won the championship. Back there was a clear focus

<v Speaker 1>around the aw World title in that main event scene,

<v Speaker 1>which was and still is very very strong. So now

<v Speaker 1>MJF doesn't have the belt, that's only temporary. Darby has

<v Speaker 1>the belt. But you got MJF, you got Darby. They're

<v Speaker 1>roping Kevin Knight into this. Kenny Omega had his shot

<v Speaker 1>at the championship. Brody King has had a couple of

<v Speaker 1>shots now at the championship this year. That should be

<v Speaker 1>his last for a while, and so on and so on.

<v Speaker 1>Right Swab Strickland wants the bell, Will Osprey wants the bell.

<v Speaker 1>John Moxley at some point he'll probably want to get

<v Speaker 1>the belt back. Everybody wants to be the champion and

<v Speaker 1>that's great because the title should be the focal point.

<v Speaker 1>The title should be the centerpiece of the show. And

<v Speaker 1>they have a very strong main events scene right now.

<v Speaker 1>I think that has a lot to do with this,

<v Speaker 1>you know, renewed interest in the product. So hopefully they

<v Speaker 1>will continue to build on this and keep the focus

<v Speaker 1>on the championship and continue to cycle in you know,

<v Speaker 1>new challengers as we go along here. But yeah, how

<v Speaker 1>about that biggest us A dynamite crowd in a very

<v Speaker 1>long time tonight, And kudos to that crowd too, because

<v Speaker 1>they were very loud and they were very energetic throughout

<v Speaker 1>the show. And in case you were wondering, completely off

<v Speaker 1>topic here has nothing to do with AW, but I

<v Speaker 1>did check in before I went live tonight. The Mets

<v Speaker 1>got crushed by the Nationals tonight fourteen to two. They

<v Speaker 1>have now lost sixteen of their last nineteen games. They

<v Speaker 1>own the worst record in all of Major League Baseball

<v Speaker 1>ten and twenty the worst record in Major League Baseball,

<v Speaker 1>by the way, on the largest payroll three hundred and

<v Speaker 1>thirty million dollars. I think I have the perfect sound

<v Speaker 1>effect for this. You suck. Welcome tier AW Dynamite review.

<v Speaker 1>It is Wednesday, the final Wednesday here for the month

<v Speaker 1>of April, a big, big month of April that we

<v Speaker 1>have had here on the channel. April twenty ninth, twenty

<v Speaker 1>twenty six. Yes, it is. It is very brutal, it is.

<v Speaker 1>It is. Yes, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to have to

<v Speaker 1>be the bearer of bad news, but I saw that

<v Speaker 1>before I went live. I said, well, I have to.

<v Speaker 1>I have to share this bit of information anyway. Thank

<v Speaker 1>you for joining me here on a Wednesday night. Hit

<v Speaker 1>that subscribe button if you have not already done, so

<v Speaker 1>hit that like button as well. Super chats are open.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many of them there will be tonight,

<v Speaker 1>but those of you who choose to support you demand

<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it very much and I'll read your messages

<v Speaker 1>here in just a little bit. For those of you

<v Speaker 1>who may have missed it, I also want to remind

<v Speaker 1>you because some people were asking me about it if

<v Speaker 1>I was going to do it on the sound Duff

<v Speaker 1>this past weekend. I did do it the other day,

<v Speaker 1>a review with my thoughts on the Hulk Hogan Netflix

<v Speaker 1>docu series. It is up right now here on this

<v Speaker 1>channel about thirty minutes or so. So if you want

<v Speaker 1>to go check that out, that was uploaded yesterday, So

<v Speaker 1>please go ahead and do so, leave some comments and

<v Speaker 1>let me know what you thought. If you watch the

<v Speaker 1>docu series. I'd be curious to get your feedback on

<v Speaker 1>that as well. Let's go ahead and spin the wheel

<v Speaker 1>here and see how many likes we need for be

<v Speaker 1>the booker tonight. Always very hit or miss on Wednesdays.

<v Speaker 1>Don't know if we're going to do it. Find out

<v Speaker 1>is that true. Virginia has only gotten a WWE event

<v Speaker 1>once since twenty twenty three. Maybe that's why it's hot.

<v Speaker 1>So your logic is that they're just starved for any

<v Speaker 1>rest lads possible, It's possible. I don't know what the

<v Speaker 1>independence scene is like there. It's a good question. Four

<v Speaker 1>hundred likes that's usually the standard here, so that's not

<v Speaker 1>too terrible. I still don't know that we're going to

<v Speaker 1>hit that, but if we have four hundred likes, we

<v Speaker 1>will do our be the booker segment a little bit

<v Speaker 1>later on. So there you go. I think we're right

<v Speaker 1>around two seventy ish right now, So again, four hundred

<v Speaker 1>is the goal. Let's get into this show. Here. Was

<v Speaker 1>good to see Taz back on commentary. He's been gone

<v Speaker 1>for a while and so now he was back tonight

<v Speaker 1>with ex Caliber and Tony Shiavanni, and they had plenty

<v Speaker 1>of title matches to choose from tonight. They chose to

<v Speaker 1>open with the TNT Championship with MJF challenging Kevin Knight

<v Speaker 1>for the TNT title. So right out of the gate,

<v Speaker 1>MJF goes at Night right from the opening bell sends

<v Speaker 1>him outside. So Knight mounted a comeback here and he

<v Speaker 1>did this big drop kick into a kip up and

<v Speaker 1>again these people are going nuts for this guy, which

<v Speaker 1>is great to see. That's what you want to see,

<v Speaker 1>right because he's someone who's on the upswing, so they're

<v Speaker 1>going nuts for him here in Fairfax. And three or

<v Speaker 1>four different times MJF rolled out of the ring. He

<v Speaker 1>almost did like the Orange Cassidy slow roll out of

<v Speaker 1>the ring to try to avoid some sort of move

<v Speaker 1>from Kevin Knight, and Night was like, yeah, that's not

<v Speaker 1>going to work. And so each time he would do that,

<v Speaker 1>Knight ended up doing some sort of dive out of

<v Speaker 1>the ring. So the first time it was a slingshot

<v Speaker 1>crossbody and then he hit his suicide dive. I think

<v Speaker 1>he did a somersault dive and then a springboard dive.

<v Speaker 1>And each time he just took this guy out outside

<v Speaker 1>the ring. But Knight sold a knee injury on his

<v Speaker 1>feet coming off the top rope at one point, so

<v Speaker 1>MJF targeted the knee. He caught Knight with a Panama sunrise.

<v Speaker 1>I wonder who he learned that from. Night landed hiss

<v Speaker 1>Ufo splash a little while later, but was selling the knee.

<v Speaker 1>He couldn't make the cover in time. These fucking people

<v Speaker 1>in this crowd were losing their minds trying to will

<v Speaker 1>him over to MJF to make this cover, and finally

<v Speaker 1>he did, but he had let too much time go by,

<v Speaker 1>so MJF was able to kick at it too. So

<v Speaker 1>MJF now goes and grabs the TNT title from Ringsiden.

<v Speaker 1>He brings it into the ring right in full view

<v Speaker 1>of the referee and he teases that he's going to

<v Speaker 1>use it. Referee takes the belt away from him, and

<v Speaker 1>of course this is his cue to pull out the

<v Speaker 1>dynamite diamond ring. He had a big, fat smile on

<v Speaker 1>his face. Referee's attention is diverted here for a few moments,

<v Speaker 1>and as soon as MJF turns around, Kevin Knight drops

<v Speaker 1>down and he delivers a low blow and then he

<v Speaker 1>cradles him into a pin and he pins MJF to

<v Speaker 1>retain the TNT Championship and MJF sold this. He was

<v Speaker 1>in shock. His eyes were wide, he couldn't believe it.

<v Speaker 1>And then he chopped blocked Knight as he was celebrating,

<v Speaker 1>and he was about to use the diamond ring when

<v Speaker 1>Darby Allen repelled from the ceiling Like father, like son

<v Speaker 1>and he lands and he unhooks himself and he gets

<v Speaker 1>in the ring and he grabs MJF drops him with

<v Speaker 1>a scorpion death drop. So MJF he crawls up the

<v Speaker 1>aisle to the stage and he's got a microphone and

<v Speaker 1>he said, the fans suck, and he doesn't care about

<v Speaker 1>Kevin Knight. He wasn't even really trying in this match,

<v Speaker 1>so it doesn't really count. The only thing he cares

<v Speaker 1>about is his triple B and he wants his rematch,

<v Speaker 1>Give me my fucking rematch, And Darby tells him exactly

<v Speaker 1>what he told him last week. He goes, no, you

<v Speaker 1>get no rematch unless you put something on the line.

<v Speaker 1>So Darby says, if I make it past Brody King tonight,

<v Speaker 1>I think I know who deserves the next shot. He

<v Speaker 1>looks over in the corner and Kevin Knight is crouched

<v Speaker 1>in the corner and he's staring at Kevin Knight. So

<v Speaker 1>Darby Allen is in the ring, MJF is in the

<v Speaker 1>aisleway and here it comes Brodie King, and Brodie King

<v Speaker 1>briefly gets up in mjf's face and he continues walking

<v Speaker 1>towards the ring and he gets inside and he says

<v Speaker 1>he's got bad news for Darby, You're not gonna survive tonight,

<v Speaker 1>and then he looks over at Kevin Knight he tells him,

<v Speaker 1>I got some bad news for you too, because next

<v Speaker 1>week you're not gonna be facing this guy, You're gonna

<v Speaker 1>be facing me. And that's how they close things here

<v Speaker 1>a little teas of the world title match coming up

<v Speaker 1>later on in the show. I'm very very happy that

<v Speaker 1>they did not put that TNT title on mj I

<v Speaker 1>was convinced that that's where this was leading, and I

<v Speaker 1>just couldn't wrap my head around it, because what sense

<v Speaker 1>would that even make. It's twofold, really number one, if

<v Speaker 1>you're gonna run back Darby and MJF, there's no need

<v Speaker 1>to have any other championship on the line. There's only

<v Speaker 1>one title that matters here. That's number one. Number two.

<v Speaker 1>You're giving this big push to Kevin Knight. Don't cut

<v Speaker 1>his legs off, you know what I mean? And I

<v Speaker 1>mentioned this last week. I did the same thing with

<v Speaker 1>Tomaso Champa when he first came in, he won the

<v Speaker 1>TNT title, didn't even last two weeks with it. Don't

<v Speaker 1>do the same thing to Kevin Knight, so I was

<v Speaker 1>very happy they didn't do that, and I actually I

<v Speaker 1>also thought it was a very good match. But all

<v Speaker 1>this talk about you have to put something on the line,

<v Speaker 1>you have to put something on the line, And if

<v Speaker 1>it's not gonna be another championship, what could he possibly

<v Speaker 1>put on the line. My guess is the only logical

<v Speaker 1>thing here is that as MJF sees Darby doling out

<v Speaker 1>these title matches and giving out these title matches like

<v Speaker 1>candy to different people every single week, everybody but him,

<v Speaker 1>it will continue to drive him over the edge and

<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get desperate, and the stipulation could very well

<v Speaker 1>be that he will put his career on the line,

<v Speaker 1>or even something similar to the Hangman match where it

<v Speaker 1>was like, if you don't win, you can never again

<v Speaker 1>challenge for the title. He may do the same thing.

<v Speaker 1>He may put his own career on the line in

<v Speaker 1>that regard and say, if I can't beat you, then

<v Speaker 1>I can't challenge for this championship again. That's probably the

<v Speaker 1>type of stipulation that we're looking at here, because there

<v Speaker 1>just isn't anything else to me that really makes sense.

<v Speaker 1>So I would imagine that that's where this is all

<v Speaker 1>leading as far as when we get the announcement of

<v Speaker 1>what that stipulation is. I don't know if it's next

<v Speaker 1>week or the week after again double or nothing. Is

<v Speaker 1>May twenty fourth, I believe, And it's not even May yet,

<v Speaker 1>so they still have a little bit of time, but

<v Speaker 1>I think it may be something along those lines. I'm

<v Speaker 1>not a fan of MJF losing so many matches, Okay,

<v Speaker 1>I know that that's probably a criticism that many of

<v Speaker 1>you have as well. He should not be losing constantly

<v Speaker 1>on television. They did the finish in a way that

<v Speaker 1>was designed to at least protect him because he got

<v Speaker 1>low blowed. Referee didn't see it. I actually like that

<v Speaker 1>aspect of it, because this is the second time now

<v Speaker 1>that you've had a babyface. I always talk about dumb

<v Speaker 1>babyface syndrome in wrestling, Right, there's so many dumb fucking babyfaces.

<v Speaker 1>Ww we a w it doesn't really matter, right. They

<v Speaker 1>don't learn from their mistakes, and they don't wear a

<v Speaker 1>protective cup, which MJF should probably start doing. So it's

<v Speaker 1>kind of nice that now the tables are turned right.

<v Speaker 1>Darby knows all of this guy's tricks, and he threw

<v Speaker 1>it right back in his face when he won the

<v Speaker 1>title from him. That's what Kevin Knight did tonight. He

<v Speaker 1>knows what MJF does at the end of these matches,

<v Speaker 1>and so he gave it to him before he could

<v Speaker 1>do it to Kevin Knight, and he won. So MJF

<v Speaker 1>is kind of getting his come up, and in that

<v Speaker 1>regard all the shit that he usually does to other people.

<v Speaker 1>They're beating him to the punch and doing it to him.

<v Speaker 1>That's the story here, but we get the picture, like

<v Speaker 1>I don't need to see him lose again next week

<v Speaker 1>and the week after that, you know, I mean again.

<v Speaker 1>You look at the year he's had so far. He

<v Speaker 1>got squashed by Brodie King earlier this year, right back

<v Speaker 1>in January, he got squashed by Darby. Now he's lost

<v Speaker 1>to Kevin Knight. I know he can withstand it because

<v Speaker 1>he's MJF, so he's going to be okay, But like, still,

<v Speaker 1>I would not be beating him like a drum. Hopefully this

<v Speaker 1>ends here and this is not something that becomes a

<v Speaker 1>recurring theme on this show. But again, the match was great,

<v Speaker 1>the crowd was hot, and Kevin Knight is the real deal,

<v Speaker 1>the only thing with Kevin Knight. He just needs to

<v Speaker 1>work on his promos. That's more a product of just

<v Speaker 1>getting him in the ring with people like MJF and

<v Speaker 1>putting a mic in his hand and just giving him

<v Speaker 1>more opportunities to go out there and not just address

<v Speaker 1>the crowd, but just interact with other people on the mic.

<v Speaker 1>And I think the more they do that, better he'll get,

<v Speaker 1>you know, the more comfortable he'll get at it. The

<v Speaker 1>en ring stuff. I mean, the crowd is into him

<v Speaker 1>when he's out there and he's wrestling whoever, it doesn't

<v Speaker 1>matter who it is, they're behind him. You know, he's

<v Speaker 1>been he's been someone who if you watch these shows,

<v Speaker 1>you can tell Tony Kahan is very high on him.

<v Speaker 1>If he's truly high on Kevin Knight, then just keep

<v Speaker 1>pushing him, right, don't again, don't cut off his legs,

<v Speaker 1>don't don't start beating him or we start wondering, Oh,

<v Speaker 1>you know he's not on the show every week. Like

<v Speaker 1>what he's doing with him now is great. You know

<v Speaker 1>you're featuring him on the show. You're you're having him

<v Speaker 1>interact with some of your top names. This week it

<v Speaker 1>was MJF. Next week he's gonna be wrestling Darby Allen,

<v Speaker 1>and we know he's not gonna win, so they're putting

<v Speaker 1>him in a situation where he's he's gonna lose. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I suppose mjf could could get involved, but he's not

<v Speaker 1>gonna win. We know this. But they have him in

<v Speaker 1>the main events scene, which is a great place for

<v Speaker 1>him to be. Yeah. I said this earlier this year,

<v Speaker 1>coming out of the Continental Classic. This year for him

<v Speaker 1>should be what twenty twenty five was for Kyle Fletcher.

<v Speaker 1>In Kyle Fletcher, they made a star. I'm not saying

<v Speaker 1>he's the biggest star in the company, but they took

<v Speaker 1>a guy who was part of a tag team and

<v Speaker 1>they turned him into a legitimate star for them in

<v Speaker 1>this company. They could do the same thing with Kevin

<v Speaker 1>Knight this year. They're well on their way. Just keep

<v Speaker 1>doing what you're doing. The fans have taken to him.

<v Speaker 1>They like him. He's super talented, so I like what

<v Speaker 1>they're doing with him right now. Hopefully they could just

<v Speaker 1>continue down that path. Jamie Hater has been medically cleared then,

<v Speaker 1>so she was back in action tonight. Her and Alex

<v Speaker 1>Windsor back as a tag team against Emily j and

<v Speaker 1>Jordan Blade. This one about as long as you would

<v Speaker 1>expect it to Brawling Birds. They made short work of

<v Speaker 1>these two women. They finished them off with their two birds,

<v Speaker 1>one stone. Not much else to say about this. It

<v Speaker 1>was a simple squash, just to get them back in

<v Speaker 1>the win column. I still think that all roads lead

<v Speaker 1>to London and then winning the tag team titles there.

<v Speaker 1>I think that's where we end up with this. But

<v Speaker 1>whenever it actually happens, these two will be the ones

<v Speaker 1>to take the tag belts off of Megan Bain A

<v Speaker 1>Leena Cross. I think Wembley would be the best place

<v Speaker 1>for it. Where else where else would the Brawling Birds

<v Speaker 1>win the tag team titles if not London. You got

<v Speaker 1>this big London show coming up in a few months.

<v Speaker 1>It just makes all the sense in the world. Backstage,

<v Speaker 1>Tekla was with sky Blue No Julia Hart, I don't

<v Speaker 1>know where she was. Tekla said, Look, I wish I

<v Speaker 1>could stop calling people dumb bitches, but there's just too

<v Speaker 1>many in aw for me to stop. That's like me

<v Speaker 1>on social media. There's a lot of dumb bitches on

<v Speaker 1>social media. And I don't mean women, I just mean

<v Speaker 1>dumb bitches all over social media, and I would love,

<v Speaker 1>I would love to stop calling them dumb bitches, but

<v Speaker 1>there's just too many of them. I can't stop. I

<v Speaker 1>can't help myself. I can relate to Tecla, so sky

<v Speaker 1>Blue said that she feels sorry for Persephone because she

<v Speaker 1>got misted last week by Julia, but it's the best

<v Speaker 1>thing that ever happened to her, so maybe you'll open

<v Speaker 1>her eyes. Tecla talked somehit about the Brawling Birds and

<v Speaker 1>said that one on one, she's everything. They are nothing,

<v Speaker 1>so stick to being a tag team. We got Kazushka

<v Speaker 1>Okada defending the International Championship against Ace Austen here on

<v Speaker 1>this show. This is only the seventh title defense for

<v Speaker 1>Okada since he won that championship uh and really his

<v Speaker 1>seventh title defense since Forbidden Door in August, and as

<v Speaker 1>far as as Austin is concerned, this is his third

<v Speaker 1>match ever on Dynamite, and his run in this company

<v Speaker 1>only really goes back to like last summer, so since

<v Speaker 1>last August, same month, only his third match here on

<v Speaker 1>this show, and he's wrestling Okada for the International title.

<v Speaker 1>Why I have no fucking idea, but this is the

<v Speaker 1>match they announced, so Austin got a you got a

<v Speaker 1>decent amount of shine here. But I mean there were

<v Speaker 1>two standing dropkicks that Okada delivered, and the first one

<v Speaker 1>was that the first one. It was the first one

<v Speaker 1>he dropped kicked him out of midair. But both of

<v Speaker 1>these dropkicks like right in the kisser. I mean, he

<v Speaker 1>fucking wrecked him with these dropkicks. I mean they were

<v Speaker 1>just they were so perfect. So Austin Doctor Rainmaker attempted

<v Speaker 1>into a backslide for a very close two count. Okata

<v Speaker 1>got up, he hit that second drop kick, followed by

<v Speaker 1>a tombstone and then finally a maker for the win.

<v Speaker 1>As Okada was celebrating with the various Kallus family members

<v Speaker 1>in the ring, Kenoski Takeshta walks out on stage, which

<v Speaker 1>is where he stays, and he looks at Okado. Okada

<v Speaker 1>looks back at him, and Takesha makes the belt gesture

<v Speaker 1>around his waist, signaling that he's coming for that International

<v Speaker 1>Championship at double or nothing. I am looking very forward

<v Speaker 1>to this match. I've been waiting for the rematch since December.

<v Speaker 1>I'm glad we're finally getting it. I'm not convinced that

<v Speaker 1>that will be the end of it, or that Takesha

<v Speaker 1>will even win the belt at double or nothing. I

<v Speaker 1>still think that Tony wants to do this match at

<v Speaker 1>Wembley Stadium. We may end up with three matches. Okata

<v Speaker 1>may win the first two and then Takesha wins the

<v Speaker 1>title at the end of the summer. I could see that.

<v Speaker 1>I just want to see the match, no tournament, just

<v Speaker 1>you have an actual story here. These two men do

<v Speaker 1>not like each other. You put them in the ring,

<v Speaker 1>you ring the bell, you let them do their thing.

<v Speaker 1>Match of the night. Can't wait. I've been waiting a

<v Speaker 1>long time for this match. We got a promo in

<v Speaker 1>the Wild West. You remember they've done these vignettes before

<v Speaker 1>for Bandido, which are very well done, very cinematic in nature.

<v Speaker 1>And so we're back to the Wild West and we

<v Speaker 1>see various patrons from the town saloon who are fleeing

<v Speaker 1>the saloon, and then this other man comes out. We

<v Speaker 1>can't see who it is, but he's got blood on

<v Speaker 1>his hands. He's walking along and he reaches down he

<v Speaker 1>picks up a wanted poster for Bandido, and the camera

<v Speaker 1>pans up and then we find out that it is

<v Speaker 1>Swerve Strickland. He's back. We haven't seen him in a while,

<v Speaker 1>although he was at the NFL Draft. Earlier in the show,

<v Speaker 1>they actually showed photos of him at the NFL Draft.

<v Speaker 1>He had a photo of Michael Keaton, f and Batman.

<v Speaker 1>They took a Where's Joseph Stewart when you need him?

<v Speaker 1>Swerve and Batman in the same photo together, So he

<v Speaker 1>is back. Prince Nana was there as well. Prince Nana

<v Speaker 1>handed him a lighter of some sort and almost like

<v Speaker 1>a little mini blowtorch, and he kind of blew a

<v Speaker 1>hole in the middle of the wanted poster and then

<v Speaker 1>he shot a death stare into the camera. It's good

<v Speaker 1>to have Swerve back on TV. But I think someone

<v Speaker 1>should probably tell Swerve that again, Darby Allen is handing

<v Speaker 1>out world title matches like they're going out of style.

<v Speaker 1>You would think that, if anything, Swerve would come back

<v Speaker 1>and would go and ask Darby for a championship match. Instead,

<v Speaker 1>he's coming after Bandido for reasons that are unexplained. I

<v Speaker 1>can't wait for that promo to find out why he's

<v Speaker 1>going after Bandido. But even if he had a good

<v Speaker 1>reason to go after Bandido, I don't know why he

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't go after Darby other than they obviously don't want

<v Speaker 1>him challenging Darby right now for the belt. But it

<v Speaker 1>just defy all logic. This man's given out title matches

<v Speaker 1>every week. Why would Swerve not be the first man

<v Speaker 1>in line? All right? We know the title is so

<v Speaker 1>important to him. Hangman can't wait in line because he

<v Speaker 1>can't challenge for the title anymore. Swerve can. But evidently

<v Speaker 1>he's going after Bandido. I do know this Swerve against

<v Speaker 1>Bandido is gonna be a great addition to that double

<v Speaker 1>or nothing card. That's another match that I very much

<v Speaker 1>would like to see. Gonna be a great match. Just

<v Speaker 1>wondering why he's choosing to go after this man. This

<v Speaker 1>man is not actually he is a champion. He's got

<v Speaker 1>the wrong belt though he's the Ring of Honor world champion.

<v Speaker 1>Is Swerve going after the Ring of Honor world title? Why?

<v Speaker 1>Why would he he picked the wrong belt? Hey, butter

<v Speaker 1>you're welcome. Butter Cream, You're welcome. I can't have butter

<v Speaker 1>cream anymore. You all can get creamed. I can't do

<v Speaker 1>that anymore. We recapped some footage here from Collision because

<v Speaker 1>you remember on Dynamite last week the death Riders kidnapped

<v Speaker 1>well ospray. We never found out what happened him, you

<v Speaker 1>would have had you have to tune into Collision to

<v Speaker 1>find out. So on Collision, there was a vignette where

<v Speaker 1>Moxley is sitting in a chair, the Death Riders are there,

<v Speaker 1>Osprey is sitting in a chair and Moxley proposes, he

<v Speaker 1>made a proposition to Osprey that he wanted to help

<v Speaker 1>make him the most dangerous version of himself that he

<v Speaker 1>has ever seen. He wants to help him. It's like

<v Speaker 1>he wants to mentor him. And so that was the

<v Speaker 1>gist of it. He had kicked the death Riders out.

<v Speaker 1>He laid down face down on the ground, left a

<v Speaker 1>chair there and told Osprey do you got to do?

<v Speaker 1>And Osprey picked up the chair. He was kind of hesitating,

<v Speaker 1>and that was the end of the vignettes, so we

<v Speaker 1>don't know what happened there. So this was the follow up.

<v Speaker 1>So they cut to the back somewhere and the death

<v Speaker 1>Riders are just sort of training. They're in like a

<v Speaker 1>hallway or something, and Osprey shows up. It's like he's

<v Speaker 1>showing up with the dojo. He walks in and Moxley

<v Speaker 1>goes over to him and he says, did you get cleared?

<v Speaker 1>And Osprey says, no, no, no, I didn't. But he goes,

<v Speaker 1>it's not stopping me from going to Japan. Me and

<v Speaker 1>my boys have a big title match coming up. Moxley said,

<v Speaker 1>I like that. It shows loyalty. So he tells Ospray

<v Speaker 1>he I should have mentioned this. So Pack is standing

<v Speaker 1>there and Pack is just stonefaced, right because he doesn't

<v Speaker 1>clearly approve of any of this. He doesn't like well,

<v Speaker 1>Osprey just a blank expression on his face, and Moxley

<v Speaker 1>is looking at Pack and he actually he poked him

<v Speaker 1>in the stomach like the fucking Pillsbury dough boy to

<v Speaker 1>try to get him to crack, and Pack is like,

<v Speaker 1>what the fuck are you doing? I thought that was

<v Speaker 1>kind of amusing. So Moxley tells Osprey, here's what you

<v Speaker 1>need to do. You need to drop everything everything that

<v Speaker 1>clouds you, all of this, everything that clouds your vision,

<v Speaker 1>everything that makes you see things that aren't there, whatever

<v Speaker 1>pulls at your heart strings, the anger that burns a

<v Speaker 1>hole in your stomach. Drop all of that excess baggage

<v Speaker 1>because we don't need it. It says Osbury's Feelings about

<v Speaker 1>Moxley drop it. Moxley doesn't promise miracles, but when he

<v Speaker 1>promises something, he sees it through until the very end.

<v Speaker 1>All he asks for is the same in return, and

<v Speaker 1>so Osprey agrees to this. He agrees to these terms

<v Speaker 1>and then he asks, so where's the ring. There's no ring.

<v Speaker 1>Claudio takes it. It's actually kind of a weird ending

<v Speaker 1>here because Moxley says, no, no, there is no ring.

<v Speaker 1>The implication is that they're just going to start like

<v Speaker 1>training and rolling around on the floor right where they are.

<v Speaker 1>But he goes, there's no ring, and Claudio at that moment,

<v Speaker 1>takes his shirt off. And then at that point Moxley

<v Speaker 1>acknowledges the camera and he says no, no, like we're

<v Speaker 1>we're not showing this right, and that's where it cuts off.

<v Speaker 1>But it's kind of like, it's kind of weird, like no, no, no,

<v Speaker 1>there's no ring here. And then the last thing we

<v Speaker 1>see is Claudio taking his shirt off. It's like, what

<v Speaker 1>are they about to do here? What exactly does this

<v Speaker 1>session involve here? I don't know because it ended there

<v Speaker 1>and they cut away. I gotta tell you, you know.

<v Speaker 1>My thoughts on the Death Riders the Death Riders. It's

<v Speaker 1>it's just such a weird fucking group. They have been

<v Speaker 1>through a lot of transformations, ups and downs. The best

<v Speaker 1>thing is that they got the world title away from

<v Speaker 1>them and they're not carrying it around at a briefcase anymore.

<v Speaker 1>So that's good. I am stunned that they are still together.

<v Speaker 1>I thought by now that they would have split them up.

<v Speaker 1>It kind of felt like there was a way to

<v Speaker 1>tell that story Tony didn't want to tell. That's actually

<v Speaker 1>Moxley probably didn't want to tell that story because I'm

<v Speaker 1>sure Moxley has basically creative control and creative cart planche

<v Speaker 1>over this whole thing. I wouldn't be surprised if he's

<v Speaker 1>basically booking his own stuff. And so the Death Riders

<v Speaker 1>live on and Moxley for a while there was a

<v Speaker 1>babyface and being cheered like a baby face, and the

<v Speaker 1>other members weren't. And then Will Osprey came back, and

<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, Moxley was back to acting like

<v Speaker 1>a heel. And back and forth we go, and back

<v Speaker 1>and forth. I'm like, what's going on here? But Moxley

<v Speaker 1>wrestles Osprey and beats him, and I look at this

<v Speaker 1>and I go, okay, I see the vision. Because if

<v Speaker 1>the vision is will Ospray winning the world title this year,

<v Speaker 1>then it's going to happen in August. So how do

<v Speaker 1>you get there? Because the Owen, you know, you got

<v Speaker 1>to remember, the All In show in Texas last year

<v Speaker 1>was in July. This year it's about a month and

<v Speaker 1>a half later, maybe six weeks. So the Owen probably

<v Speaker 1>is not going to begin until. I mean it'll be

<v Speaker 1>after double or nothing, most likely. What do you do

<v Speaker 1>with will Ospbury in the meantime? What kind of story

<v Speaker 1>do you want to tell with will Osprey before he

<v Speaker 1>punches his ticket to the main event of All In.

<v Speaker 1>They have chosen to tell the story of his neck,

<v Speaker 1>because every time he's in the ring, it's all about

<v Speaker 1>the neck, and he's got the tape all over the

<v Speaker 1>neck and he's gonna kill, nearly kill himself, and every

<v Speaker 1>single match he gets dropped on his head. They overdo

<v Speaker 1>it a bit, but it's this story of perseverance. Right.

<v Speaker 1>He went in there and he lost to John Moxley,

<v Speaker 1>the guy that he wanted revenge on. He fucking lost,

<v Speaker 1>And I said, okay, when it comes time for the Owen.

<v Speaker 1>The finals of Owen, it's gonna be Will Ospray and

<v Speaker 1>John Moxley. And so when Osbury finally gets that win,

<v Speaker 1>the very next match we see him in is going

<v Speaker 1>to be challenging for the World Championship. So now they're

<v Speaker 1>doing this almost like a little side quest now where

<v Speaker 1>he's joining in effect the Death Riders, but obviously he's

<v Speaker 1>not joining as a full fledged member. But that's basically

<v Speaker 1>the story they're telling here. And I'm watching this and

<v Speaker 1>I'm like, is it like a Stockholm syndrome type thing

<v Speaker 1>where it's like he's he's bonding with his captors. He

<v Speaker 1>was literally kidnapped on the show last week, like they

<v Speaker 1>grabbed him and they took him away. He was kidnapped.

<v Speaker 1>And now he's agreeing to their terms and he's gonna

<v Speaker 1>work with them. He's gonna show up for training sessions.

<v Speaker 1>And it's a little strange, but I kind of I'm intrigued,

<v Speaker 1>I'll say that because they're telling an actual story here.

<v Speaker 1>They're trying to tell an actual story here to build

<v Speaker 1>up Ospray that much more. Going into all in my

<v Speaker 1>whole theory about this still stands. I still think at

<v Speaker 1>the end of all of this, like the ultimate final

<v Speaker 1>test that this man will pass is that he will

<v Speaker 1>beat John Moxley. John Moxley. It's like John Moxley has

<v Speaker 1>found a bird and the bird's wing is broken, and

<v Speaker 1>so now he has to nurse this bird back to health.

<v Speaker 1>And then once the bird is all nursed back to

<v Speaker 1>health one hundred percent, the bird can fly once again. Right.

<v Speaker 1>Will Osprey is the wounded animal that John Moxley is

<v Speaker 1>going to now try to heal. Now why Moxley cares?

<v Speaker 1>What is his motivations for doing so? He hasn't said,

<v Speaker 1>But I don't hate what they're doing here. I think

<v Speaker 1>it's kind of interesting. I still stand by what I

<v Speaker 1>said though. I still think at the end of all this,

<v Speaker 1>Osprey is going to beat him, and I think when

<v Speaker 1>he does, Moxley is going to look him in the

<v Speaker 1>eye and it's going to be a matter of respect.

<v Speaker 1>It's like, Okay, my job here is done. My job

<v Speaker 1>here was to bring out the best version of Will Ospray.

<v Speaker 1>I've done my job. Now you can go on and

<v Speaker 1>win the world title. And that's where I think. Ultimately

<v Speaker 1>the story is going actual death writer stuff that isn't

<v Speaker 1>death on television. They're telling an actual story here, which

<v Speaker 1>is somebody that you know, a lot of people complain

<v Speaker 1>about that there's not enough story on these shows, which

<v Speaker 1>is not entirely true. Sometimes they sell there's no story,

<v Speaker 1>and I mean they tell their own kind of version

<v Speaker 1>of stories. You can't say there's no stories on the show.

<v Speaker 1>You could say that there's no great stories on the show.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's fine if that's how you feel. But

<v Speaker 1>in this case, at least, they're trying to tell some

<v Speaker 1>sort of story between these two. You know, it's not

<v Speaker 1>just putting the rematch together for the sake of doing

<v Speaker 1>the rematch. We'll see where it goes. I don't know

<v Speaker 1>if they're going to do something a double or nothing.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they're going to do something again

<v Speaker 1>wait until the Owen kicks in and do it there.

<v Speaker 1>It almost feels like double or nothing would be too

<v Speaker 1>soon for them to kind of be on opposing sides again.

<v Speaker 1>We'll see where the story goes. It's intriguing at least.

<v Speaker 1>Can't say that all of it makes entirely too much sense,

<v Speaker 1>but by the end of it, maybe it will. I

<v Speaker 1>want to see where it goes. This week's episode is

<v Speaker 1>Adam Copeland Christian cage rare television match. They were in

<v Speaker 1>action against Rpgvice, Trent Burretta and Rocky Romero FTR and

<v Speaker 1>Stokely Halfaway. They came out before the match to observe

<v Speaker 1>the Heels went after Christian's bad forearm. But I have

<v Speaker 1>no idea why Rpgvice needed this much offense. I mean

<v Speaker 1>when they were get the heat on Christian, I mean

<v Speaker 1>it was just going on and on and on, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm like, this is going on for way too long here.

<v Speaker 1>You're giving these guys a little too much offense, I think.

<v Speaker 1>So in the middle of this match, the Conglomeration suddenly

<v Speaker 1>appeared in the front row. We saw Orange Cassidy, and

<v Speaker 1>we saw Roderick Strong, and we saw Kyle o'reiley And

<v Speaker 1>this was all unbeknownst to Stokely Hathaway. So Stokely sees

<v Speaker 1>them and he takes a swing. He missed Cassidy, who

<v Speaker 1>threw popcorn at him. The Conglomerration FTR they brought through

<v Speaker 1>the crowd and out of the arena, So they're out

<v Speaker 1>of the picture now. So the Heels worked over Christian

<v Speaker 1>for again way too long, until Copeland got the hot tag.

<v Speaker 1>He dropped Bretta with an impaler for a near fall

<v Speaker 1>Cage and Romero. They spilled out of the ring. Inside

<v Speaker 1>the ring, Bretta leapfrogged a spear attempt by Copeland, tried

<v Speaker 1>to pin him with his foot on the ropes. The

<v Speaker 1>referee actually caught him. For a change. Trent was arguing

<v Speaker 1>with Rick Knox. He turned around into a spear and

<v Speaker 1>Cope and Christian and they pick up the win. So

<v Speaker 1>after the match, Christian brought a chair into the ring

<v Speaker 1>and he stomps on it to break off the bottom

<v Speaker 1>bar and he gives it to Copeland with the idea

<v Speaker 1>that he wants him to use it on Trends in

<v Speaker 1>a cross face, and so he does. He puts Trent

<v Speaker 1>in a cross face with the bar across his mouth,

<v Speaker 1>and Christian on the microphone is telling you say the words,

<v Speaker 1>say the words, and Beretta starts to scream out loud.

<v Speaker 1>I quit, I quit, A little hint of what's to

<v Speaker 1>come at double or nothing. In the I Quit match

<v Speaker 1>between Cope and Christian and FTR. That was really the

<v Speaker 1>whole point of the match. They really just wanted that

<v Speaker 1>one moment at the end, and Copeland at that point

<v Speaker 1>he's outside the ring now, he's staring at the tag

<v Speaker 1>team belts which they had left behind. They're laying on

<v Speaker 1>the announced desk, and he put a popcorn bucket over

<v Speaker 1>his head. He wore it like a crown. For some reason.

<v Speaker 1>He was out there having fun old bucket head over here.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, the match was, it was solid, It

<v Speaker 1>was fine. Nothing terribly exciting here. Again, I think RPG

<v Speaker 1>Wece went on offense for a little too long in

<v Speaker 1>this match, but it was okay. Not lighting my world

<v Speaker 1>on fire. I can't lie. After the break, Renee was

<v Speaker 1>in the back to interview Chris Jericho. I will point

<v Speaker 1>out to you that Renee did all of the backstage

<v Speaker 1>interviews throughout the entire show, from the opening one earlier

<v Speaker 1>in the night. She was losing her voice. I don't

<v Speaker 1>know why they could not substitute somebody else in there

<v Speaker 1>for at least some of these segments. This poor woman

<v Speaker 1>did all of the backstage segments on this show as

<v Speaker 1>she was losing her voice, except in this one segment

<v Speaker 1>here because she was in the back with Chris Jericho,

<v Speaker 1>who was not actually there tonight. In fair facts, He's

<v Speaker 1>actually here in New York City, he's filming something television related,

<v Speaker 1>some TV show. I don't know what it is, but

<v Speaker 1>he was not a dynamite. But it was very It

<v Speaker 1>was very funny because magically, in this one segment, which

<v Speaker 1>totally didn't get recorded last week, Rene's voice was okay,

<v Speaker 1>she sounded normal, she sounded human here in this segment,

<v Speaker 1>but then when they went back to her in like

<v Speaker 1>the later segment, she lost her voice again. So but

<v Speaker 1>here she had her voice, and she was asking Jericho

<v Speaker 1>if Ricochet's Rico Salt his version of the Lion Salt,

<v Speaker 1>is in fact an improved version of Jericho's Lion Salt.

<v Speaker 1>So Jericho started to speak Ricochet in the Gates of Agony.

<v Speaker 1>They showed up and they attacked Jericho. So Ricochet asked Jericho,

<v Speaker 1>is this what you want? Is this what you want?

<v Speaker 1>Jericho told him to eat shit and then called him bald,

<v Speaker 1>and so Ricochet tore Jericho's shirt Gates of Agony. They

<v Speaker 1>ran Jericho into a nearby equipment case. Ricochet asked Jericho

<v Speaker 1>if he thought he was being funny, and then he

<v Speaker 1>teased doing a Rico Salt onto Jericho. He actually leapt over.

<v Speaker 1>Jericho landed on his feet and then told him you're

<v Speaker 1>not even worth it, and he walked away, and the

<v Speaker 1>parting shot was Jericho laying on the ground. Yes, Jericho

<v Speaker 1>was not there tonight, so they at least found a

<v Speaker 1>way to get him on the show. I think Jericho's

<v Speaker 1>new gimmick is that basically like he kind of he's

<v Speaker 1>a smart guy, and I think if he wants to

<v Speaker 1>curry favor with the audience, what better way to do

<v Speaker 1>that than by having him go out there and lose

<v Speaker 1>all of his first matches and get his ass kicked

<v Speaker 1>every week and build up sympathy for people to want

<v Speaker 1>to see Jericho go out there and win. And it

<v Speaker 1>seems like also they're building an entire storyline around on

<v Speaker 1>the Lion Salt, which is a move that he's used

<v Speaker 1>in every single match. It's a throwaway move, it's a

<v Speaker 1>setup move. He's used it in every match going back

<v Speaker 1>thirty years, and they seem to be building to this

<v Speaker 1>big moment where when he hits the Lion Sault again,

<v Speaker 1>people are supposed to go crazy for it. We'll see,

<v Speaker 1>we'll see if it works. But yeah, watch Jericho consistently

<v Speaker 1>lose to the point where the fans want to see

<v Speaker 1>him win. Smart, very smart. Megan Bain and Lean Across

<v Speaker 1>defended the women's tag team titles against Hikarushida and Chris Statlander.

<v Speaker 1>This is clearly building to Shida turning on Statlander, or

<v Speaker 1>at least you know her not realizing what Shita is

<v Speaker 1>up to. They said, Mina Sheirakawa is trying to tell

<v Speaker 1>Chris Statlander you can't trust her, you can't trust her.

<v Speaker 1>I could see them roping Willow Nightingale into this somehow

<v Speaker 1>and working the TVs title into this. So the first

<v Speaker 1>half of this match was not good. The first half

<v Speaker 1>of this was very rough. At one point, Megan Bain

<v Speaker 1>fell down. I didn't see why. She just I think

<v Speaker 1>lost her balance. I think she tried to pick one

<v Speaker 1>of them up and she just fell down. And that

<v Speaker 1>was sort of appropriate considering how the first half of

<v Speaker 1>this match just they just did not seem to be

<v Speaker 1>on the same page. They weren't even working off the

<v Speaker 1>same book. It's very clunky, It was very rough. The

<v Speaker 1>second half was better than the first, at least, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know what happened here. At the beginning of the match.

<v Speaker 1>Sheida wanted to use her kendo stick though, and Statlander

<v Speaker 1>grabbed it and said no, no, she wouldn't let her

<v Speaker 1>use it, so Sheida. So now they're in the ring together.

<v Speaker 1>She'da kicks her in the gut and she supplexes her

<v Speaker 1>into the corner. It looks like she's turning on stat

<v Speaker 1>and the crowd started to react as if, holy shit,

<v Speaker 1>she's turning on this woman right now. She supplexes her

<v Speaker 1>into the corner and Bain had been laid out, I

<v Speaker 1>think across the middle rope in the corner. She was

<v Speaker 1>in the middle rope, and so she was really just

<v Speaker 1>supplexing Statlander into Megan Baine. She was using her partner

<v Speaker 1>as a weapon. And Statlander gets up and she gets

<v Speaker 1>up at her face like what the fuck, and She'd

<v Speaker 1>is like no, no, no, go after her stay on

<v Speaker 1>top of her. So it looked like this was a turn.

<v Speaker 1>This was not a turn, not yet anyway. Late in

<v Speaker 1>the match, Statlander stacked both women up, went up top,

<v Speaker 1>hit a four point fifty splash onto the pile for

<v Speaker 1>a two count. Statlander went for the Saturday Night Fever. Shida, though,

<v Speaker 1>made a blind tag, hitting a meteora off the top

<v Speaker 1>and then a Falcon arrow for a two count. Statlander

<v Speaker 1>came in, she got wiped out with a flying boot.

<v Speaker 1>Bain and Cross then demolished Sheita. I mean they slammed

<v Speaker 1>her down hard with their double choke slamb and they

<v Speaker 1>pinned her to retain the titles. I've certainly seen better

<v Speaker 1>from Megan Bain A Lena Cross. This This was not

<v Speaker 1>the best outing for any of these four women. I

<v Speaker 1>will just say that by the end of it. It

<v Speaker 1>was at least a decent match by the end, but

<v Speaker 1>this was not great. We had Ruche against let me

<v Speaker 1>see here, what was this guy's name? Stephen Fuerte. Want

<v Speaker 1>to make sure I get it right. Stephen Fuerte was

<v Speaker 1>his opponent here at the show. Poor Stephen Ferte. He

<v Speaker 1>wanted a handshake from Ruche. I don't know why you

<v Speaker 1>would expect him to shake your hand. He didn't and

<v Speaker 1>instead Ruche She's just wrecked him with a right hand

<v Speaker 1>and they ended up on the floor. Ruche was just

<v Speaker 1>stomping the fuck out of this guy, just kicking the

<v Speaker 1>shit out of him, and then got him back in

<v Speaker 1>the ring and he gave him the bulls horns and

<v Speaker 1>that was it. It was short work for Ruche, who

<v Speaker 1>then got on the mic and he was saying some

<v Speaker 1>stuff in Spanish and then he ended with when you

<v Speaker 1>messed with the bull, you get the horns. So look,

<v Speaker 1>I could get behind more ruche television time here on

<v Speaker 1>this show. That's great. I think that Rush would make

<v Speaker 1>a great challenger in the not too distant future for

<v Speaker 1>one Kevin Knight for the TNT title. That's what I think.

<v Speaker 1>But he is someone who I would like to see

<v Speaker 1>more of on this show. Hopefully we get to see

<v Speaker 1>more of him on this show, like last week. For example,

<v Speaker 1>last week we had Leo Rush, right, Leo Rush had

<v Speaker 1>that match with Brody King. Some people may not be

<v Speaker 1>a fan of this whole gimmick that Leo Rush is doing.

<v Speaker 1>I like it because it's at least something different. He's

<v Speaker 1>clearly committed to it. It's kind of creepy, and I

<v Speaker 1>just wish they would have taken more effort and care

<v Speaker 1>to try to explain to us exactly why he has

<v Speaker 1>descended into madness. If you want to do some sort

<v Speaker 1>of vignette, do a vignette. I'm not saying you have

<v Speaker 1>to just do a sit down, serious interview with the guy.

<v Speaker 1>And they didn't do that. He literally just showed up

<v Speaker 1>on Dynamite last week, which he never shows up on,

<v Speaker 1>and he wrestled Brodie King and he lost, and then

<v Speaker 1>he was never I mean, he wasn't on the show tonight.

<v Speaker 1>He probably won't be on the show next week, so

<v Speaker 1>it was basically like a one off and again, you're

<v Speaker 1>not gonna get over that way. So I don't know

<v Speaker 1>if Tony Kind is serious about pushing him with that

<v Speaker 1>gimmick or not. Rush is somebody who we should be

<v Speaker 1>seeing more on Dynamite. We should see him more on

<v Speaker 1>the A Show because he's really good. I hope we do,

<v Speaker 1>but I wonder if he'll fall into the same category

<v Speaker 1>as Leo Rush, where it's like you'll see him every

<v Speaker 1>now and then and then you won't, and it's like,

<v Speaker 1>how do you get over that way? You don't, you know,

<v Speaker 1>you really don't. But anyway, so this was just a

<v Speaker 1>short squash as if again they were building him up

<v Speaker 1>for something. I think that something might be the TNT

<v Speaker 1>Championship at some point, or at least a shot at

<v Speaker 1>the TNT title. I don't know if he'll win it,

<v Speaker 1>but that's what I would do with him. Renee again,

<v Speaker 1>poor Renee. Let this woman rest. She was in the

<v Speaker 1>back with the Ops. Samoa, Joe is back, Katsiori Shabata

<v Speaker 1>is back from Japan. Hook is there, and the brand

<v Speaker 1>new member, the newest edition, the newest recruit for the Ops.

<v Speaker 1>If you saw Collision last week, Anthony Bowens, he's in there.

<v Speaker 1>He's standing there with the puffer coat on. Now he

<v Speaker 1>knows how to dress like the rest of the Ops now.

<v Speaker 1>And she asked Joe what's the game plan moving forward?

<v Speaker 1>And Joe said, to reassert our dominance. He put over

<v Speaker 1>Bowens as someone who's always been overlooked, and now you'll

<v Speaker 1>get to see what he's truly capable of. And Hook, meanwhile,

<v Speaker 1>is going to become the TNT champion because he has

<v Speaker 1>a TNT title match this weekend on Collision with Kevin Knight.

<v Speaker 1>And then he turned his attention to will Osprey and

<v Speaker 1>he hopes it's not a case of Stockholm syndrome with

<v Speaker 1>him and the Death Riders. He said, look, we got

<v Speaker 1>your back when you if you need it, you got

<v Speaker 1>a choice to make. Will Osprey is in a great

<v Speaker 1>demand here. The Death Riders have recruited him. Now the

<v Speaker 1>Ops is putting an invitation out there so soon the

<v Speaker 1>the Hurt Syndicate is going to want to recruit will Osprey.

<v Speaker 1>What a trio that would be. Uh, Bobby Lashley's Shelton

<v Speaker 1>Benjamin and will Osprey be like Owen in the Nation.

<v Speaker 1>I think it could work. Anthony Bowen's joining the Ops

<v Speaker 1>in the Grand Scheme. I don't know that him joining

<v Speaker 1>the Ops is going to necessarily be the thing that

<v Speaker 1>vaults him to the next level in AW. I'm happy

<v Speaker 1>that they're actually doing something with the guys. It's impossible

<v Speaker 1>impossible for me to believe that him or Max Caster

<v Speaker 1>were thrilled about AW not really getting behind them when

<v Speaker 1>they initially split them, because they didn't really in the end,

<v Speaker 1>they didn't really do much with them as singles, and

<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they were hopeful and maybe they had their

<v Speaker 1>own ideas it didn't work out. I don't know if

<v Speaker 1>they're going to do anything with Max Cast. But Anthony Bowens,

<v Speaker 1>he's a talented guy. If adding him to a group

<v Speaker 1>like this is going to help, you know, kind of

<v Speaker 1>elevate his profile by getting him on television more great,

<v Speaker 1>I think that's a good thing. This is the sort

<v Speaker 1>of thing that they should be doing. They should be

<v Speaker 1>trying to elevate younger stars who are currently not being

<v Speaker 1>used or not being used to their full potential right,

<v Speaker 1>find something for them to do on the show and

<v Speaker 1>get behind them. And not everybody is going to become

<v Speaker 1>a Kyle Fletcher. Not everybody's going to make it to

<v Speaker 1>that level. But whether again, whether it's an Anthony Bowens

<v Speaker 1>or whether it's a Kevin Knight or somebody else, this

<v Speaker 1>is the sort of thing that they need to do.

<v Speaker 1>You know, pick certain people that you would like to

<v Speaker 1>shine a spotlight on and just invest in them and

<v Speaker 1>give them the opportunity to go out there and show

<v Speaker 1>what they can do. And if they sin, they sink,

<v Speaker 1>the swim they swim, and you've made a new star.

<v Speaker 1>But I think someone like Bowen's and even Castor, they

<v Speaker 1>didn't get a fair shake the first time. Actually Castor

<v Speaker 1>was getting over with that dumb with that dumb open

<v Speaker 1>challenge gimmick. But again it didn't go anywhere. Why would

<v Speaker 1>you squander that, you know, do something meaningful with these people.

<v Speaker 1>Stokely Hathaway was backstage and he was with FTR and

<v Speaker 1>he said that he just left Tony Kahn's office and

<v Speaker 1>he has a proposition for Orange Cassidy. Next week on Dynamite,

<v Speaker 1>it'll be Orange Cassidy against Dax Harwood, and if Cassidy wins,

<v Speaker 1>he can challenge for the tag team titles. Pick a partner,

<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter who, probably Roddy, and you can go

<v Speaker 1>after the tag team belts. But if Dax wins, then

<v Speaker 1>FTR can challenge for the Trios titles, which is just

<v Speaker 1>what we need, by the way, more champions that have

<v Speaker 1>one set of titles now challenging for another set of titles.

<v Speaker 1>The Trios titles, by the way, the most meaningless, useless

<v Speaker 1>pieces of ten in the entire company. But if Dax wins,

<v Speaker 1>they will partner up with Tamaso Champa and they will

<v Speaker 1>go after the Conglomeration and their Trios titles. Champa walks

<v Speaker 1>in and he says, if for the last or the

<v Speaker 1>last time he teamed with FTR, he put Mark Brisco

<v Speaker 1>on the shelf indefinitely, and next time they are going

<v Speaker 1>to win the Trios titles. This all just feels very

<v Speaker 1>forced to me, and anything involving the Trios titles, it's

<v Speaker 1>almost impossible for me to give a shit because the

<v Speaker 1>trio's titles don't mean anything. The trios titles are completely useless.

<v Speaker 1>They really are, so I don't care. But the main

<v Speaker 1>event had Darby Allen defending the AW World Championship against

<v Speaker 1>Brody King. So Darby hit Brody with a shotgun drop

<v Speaker 1>kick right at the start here, Darby hit an early

<v Speaker 1>suicide dive, so he comes flying out of the ring.

<v Speaker 1>He literally like he bounces into Brody. Brody doesn't even move.

<v Speaker 1>Darby bounces off of him like a rubber ball and

<v Speaker 1>just falls to the ground. And then Brody just looks

<v Speaker 1>into the camera and he barks. It was like something

<v Speaker 1>out of a cartoon. Literally like he ran into a

<v Speaker 1>wall and just went splat. So they showed Kevin Knight

<v Speaker 1>in the crowd with his TNT title over his shoulder,

<v Speaker 1>standing there and watching the match. Then they cut to

<v Speaker 1>the back they showed MJF was watching the match very

<v Speaker 1>intently on TV. So late in the match, Darby avoided

<v Speaker 1>a cannon ball and Brody ended up crashing through the

<v Speaker 1>barricade outside. They ended up on top of the announced

<v Speaker 1>desk and Darby was able to kind of wiggle his

<v Speaker 1>way out of something that King was attempting. He gave

<v Speaker 1>Brody a Code red on top of the announced desk,

<v Speaker 1>and Brody's a big guy, and the table did not break,

<v Speaker 1>so Brody regained the advantage and he was just destroying

<v Speaker 1>this little fucker. But he kept kicking out now, which

<v Speaker 1>made Brody very mad, so he launches Darby over the

<v Speaker 1>top and he actually hit the camera man on the

<v Speaker 1>way down. So now Brody is outside and he's dragging Darby,

<v Speaker 1>and Darby is clawing it like the edge of the padding,

<v Speaker 1>the protective padding outside, and as he's being dragged, he's

<v Speaker 1>pulling the padding out to expose the concrete underneath. So

<v Speaker 1>he gets Darby up against the barricade and he go

<v Speaker 1>I mean, he backs up as far as he can go,

<v Speaker 1>and he comes charging in. He gets a running head

<v Speaker 1>start and he goes for a cannon ball. Darby moves

<v Speaker 1>out of the way, and Brody crashes through the barricade

<v Speaker 1>and into the crop. So Darby goes ahead. He exposes

<v Speaker 1>more of the concrete out there on the floor and

<v Speaker 1>he ends up on the apron. Brody is up there

<v Speaker 1>with him. Darby slides out underneath him and he manages

<v Speaker 1>to I think it was a sunset bomb, but he

<v Speaker 1>power bombs Brody onto the exposed concrete outside. Then Darby

<v Speaker 1>races up to the top rope and all the way

<v Speaker 1>to the floor. On the exposed concrete, he delivers a

<v Speaker 1>coffin drop to Brody King. So King ended up barely

<v Speaker 1>breaking the count back into the ring like nine point nine,

<v Speaker 1>and he slides into the ring. He's laying on his stomach.

<v Speaker 1>Darby comes off the top with a coffin drop to

<v Speaker 1>the back. Brody rolls over. At that point, Darby goes

<v Speaker 1>back up, hits a proper coffin drop, covers him and

<v Speaker 1>gets the pin to retain the AW World title. When

<v Speaker 1>the match is over, the announcers they mentioned that Kevin

<v Speaker 1>Knight he better not look past hook on Collision this

<v Speaker 1>weekend because they're gonna meet for the TNT Championship. And

<v Speaker 1>also the match has been made official on Dynamite. Next

<v Speaker 1>week it will be Kevin Knight one on one with

<v Speaker 1>Darby Allen for the AW World Championship. King got up

<v Speaker 1>and Brody shook hands with Darby. Darby went to the ropes.

<v Speaker 1>He looked up at Kevin Knight in the crowd kind

<v Speaker 1>of looking in his direction. Challengers challengers everywhere, and that

<v Speaker 1>is how Dynamite went off the air tonight. This was

<v Speaker 1>a good main event. You know what you're gonna get

<v Speaker 1>in a Brody King and Darby Allen match. Darby is

<v Speaker 1>gonna get destroyed for most of it, so it was

<v Speaker 1>exactly what I expected it to be. They had a

<v Speaker 1>good match. I gotta go though, with Kevin Knight and MJF.

<v Speaker 1>That was my favorite match of the show that they

<v Speaker 1>had a very strong opening match. Again, I see where

<v Speaker 1>they're going with this. As far as the Darby stuff.

<v Speaker 1>Losing the title back to MJF, I'm almost positive it'll

<v Speaker 1>happen on the twenty fourth. I like how they's been

<v Speaker 1>able to find a way to work Kevin Knight into

<v Speaker 1>this whole thing. We know he's going to lose next week.

<v Speaker 1>He's not gonna win the World Championship. Not advocating for that,

<v Speaker 1>but we should get a very good match out of it.

<v Speaker 1>I just like the fact that he's hanging with all

<v Speaker 1>of these people because by doing that, the longer that

<v Speaker 1>goes on for or the more you know, kind of

<v Speaker 1>prominent names he gets to hang around and work with

<v Speaker 1>on this show, it just sends a message to people

<v Speaker 1>like this is how you should view somebody like him.

<v Speaker 1>So I like that he's not gonna win every single

<v Speaker 1>match necessarily, but I like how they've they've managed to

<v Speaker 1>kind of rope him into this, the Osprey and Moxley stuff.

<v Speaker 1>I'm intrigued. I want to see where the story goes.

<v Speaker 1>I again, I think I think it's leading to a

<v Speaker 1>place that ultimately will send Moxlay to the main event

<v Speaker 1>at Wembley Stadium. To get there, we have to bridge

<v Speaker 1>that gap to get there. This is the story that

<v Speaker 1>they are telling with him. You know, he had that

<v Speaker 1>big match with Moxley. He was out for blood, he

<v Speaker 1>was out for revenge and fucking lost right, and his

<v Speaker 1>neck has betrayed him half the time. He can't even

<v Speaker 1>get cleared to get in the ring. So he is

<v Speaker 1>giving himself up to John Moxley and the Death Riders

<v Speaker 1>to try to find the best version of himself. I'm

<v Speaker 1>sure somebody watching this right now will have some sort

<v Speaker 1>of movie analogy, some movie I've not seen that will will.

<v Speaker 1>You know, you'll find some sort of comparison for this.

<v Speaker 1>I just I mentioned the whole Stockholm syndrome thing even

<v Speaker 1>before Joe mentioned it, because that's kind of how it

<v Speaker 1>comes off. You know, He's like bonding with his captors,

<v Speaker 1>and so this is going to be the story until

<v Speaker 1>we get to the Owen final. I do predict that

<v Speaker 1>is my prediction. The rest of the show was it

<v Speaker 1>was fine. I mean, it was solid. I wouldn't say

<v Speaker 1>it was anything great, but it was fine. It was

<v Speaker 1>completely inoffensive. Next week, though, we're getting three hours because

<v Speaker 1>we have two hours of Dynamites back to back with

<v Speaker 1>an hour of Collision kill me now here. I am

<v Speaker 1>celebrating the death of three hour smackdowns sometime in the

<v Speaker 1>next few weeks. We still don't have a date on that,

<v Speaker 1>but it sounds like the era of three hour smackdowns,

<v Speaker 1>at least until next year, is coming to an end.

<v Speaker 1>And now I've got to deal with three hours of

<v Speaker 1>Dynamite on Wednesday. It's terrible, terrible. Should not have three

<v Speaker 1>hours of wrestling, say it all the time. But this

<v Speaker 1>sports schedule, the NCAA stuff or whatever it is, it's

<v Speaker 1>gonna wreak havoc. I think this is gonna happen multiple

<v Speaker 1>times in the month of May with these three hour blocks.

<v Speaker 1>Oh joy, let's get to your super chats here. Dry Chicken,

<v Speaker 1>I see you, says when it comes to wrestling, MJF.

<v Speaker 1>You have to fight fire with fire. That's what the

<v Speaker 1>baby Faces are doing. They're they're hitting him in the dick.

<v Speaker 1>They're kicking him in the dick. You know, they're giving

<v Speaker 1>it right back to him. Yeah, Mad Max, he was

<v Speaker 1>at the show. It came across great on TV. Very hot. Crowd,

<v Speaker 1>especially for that opening match, kind of died in the

<v Speaker 1>middle for some of the stuff, but some of the

<v Speaker 1>stuff in the middle died, so it only makes sense.

<v Speaker 1>But crowd was very loud. That's what happened to me.

<v Speaker 1>You have at least five thousand people in the building

<v Speaker 1>instead of two thousand, Although to be fair, there have

<v Speaker 1>been some aw crowds that have been very small but

<v Speaker 1>very loud. It just depends on the city therein. But

<v Speaker 1>there is a difference between having a crowd of twenty

<v Speaker 1>five hundred people and having a crowd of fifty two hundred,

<v Speaker 1>you know, which is what they had tonight. Cult meet

<v Speaker 1>up we got Edging Christian versus RPG. Weis before GTA six. Yeah.

<v Speaker 1>Do you still think it's coming out in November? Because

<v Speaker 1>I don't. I'm expecting another delay. Dry Chickens says Oscar

<v Speaker 1>versus EO Sky at Backlash will be the most boring, mundane,

<v Speaker 1>non strong style match on that show. Will they prove

<v Speaker 1>him wrong? I love Oscar and EO, but if only

<v Speaker 1>chef Shawn Michaels was in charge of the main roster,

<v Speaker 1>he would add some more drama and some suspense. Well, look,

<v Speaker 1>Oscar and Eosky, regardless of what's going on with the story,

<v Speaker 1>I think they could be counted on to at least

<v Speaker 1>have a very good match. At least they guaranteed very

<v Speaker 1>good match if they have time. Okay, none of this

<v Speaker 1>seven minute, six minute bullshit. They get time, then they

<v Speaker 1>will have a very good match. Give me backshot, Sola monster,

<v Speaker 1>Would you let me give you a hug if I

<v Speaker 1>see you in public or if you see me in public? No, no,

<v Speaker 1>dry chick. And it's time for Rush to collect aw

<v Speaker 1>gold TNT title, National title, International title, Continental title, World title.

<v Speaker 1>I don't think we have enough titles, guys, I think

<v Speaker 1>we may need more titles. Yeah, I mean my vote

<v Speaker 1>would go with the TNT title. That gets my vote.

<v Speaker 1>Reload the page here, refresh see who else we got.

<v Speaker 1>We got a couple more Chicago for MBK. Thank you

<v Speaker 1>for the two bucks. Dev To dust thoughts on Joe

<v Speaker 1>Buck's commentary in baseball. I mean, you know, he's fine.

<v Speaker 1>He's fine, not like my all time favorite. Ready, He's

<v Speaker 1>no Gary Cohen, but he's fine. Big Hoss says by

<v Speaker 1>Will Cruz stock Solo. He's seen his styles approved. Will Cruz.

<v Speaker 1>Is he that new guy from NXT? I haven't seen

<v Speaker 1>too much of him yet. I think they debuted like

<v Speaker 1>eleven fucking people in one night in NXT. It's hard

<v Speaker 1>to keep track of all these new faces that they

<v Speaker 1>kind of threw out there in one night. They basically

<v Speaker 1>hit the reset button, which they kind of have to

<v Speaker 1>because there's a lot of call ups. I get it.

<v Speaker 1>They're losing Ricky Saints and Ethan Page and Blake Monroe

<v Speaker 1>and Fatal Attraction and who else did they as a

<v Speaker 1>soul Ruca, So they have to hit the reset butt.

<v Speaker 1>That's why Evil is now in NXT, although not by

<v Speaker 1>that name. Evil has arrived. We have EJ. Slimp buy

<v Speaker 1>or Sell, Nicky Bella versus Aja Kang or J C.

<v Speaker 1>Jane versus Manami Toyota. See. I know that all you

<v Speaker 1>Sikko's out there, you would love to see Aja Kang

<v Speaker 1>against Nicky Bella and Nicky Bella would not survive that match. However,

<v Speaker 1>J C. Jane against Manami Toyota is going to get

<v Speaker 1>my vote. I actually think that that would be a

<v Speaker 1>very good match. Don Stoney first time in the solo

<v Speaker 1>Monster live chat and joining the show. Thank you, Don Stony,

<v Speaker 1>I'm glad you are enjoying yourself, and Tuxedo t Servo says,

<v Speaker 1>at least we still have this, Yes, the Kyrie super Chatz.

<v Speaker 1>It's actually very sad now. It makes me very sad.

<v Speaker 1>The only time you're ever going to hear that again

<v Speaker 1>is on the sound off. This is it. It's the

<v Speaker 1>only place you can get it now. Oh, very sad.

<v Speaker 1>But we are at five hundred and eighteen likes and

<v Speaker 1>the goal tonight per the Wheel was four hundred, so

<v Speaker 1>we have eclipsed the goal, believe it or not, and

<v Speaker 1>we are going to go ahead and be the book

<v Speaker 1>doesn't always happen here on Wednesdays. Wednesdays can be very

<v Speaker 1>hit or miss. It's not like the WWE streams. But

<v Speaker 1>we are going to be the booker. So let's go ahead.

<v Speaker 1>Let's do it now, time to be, Let's do it.

<v Speaker 1>Oh Antioch, good to see you. My friend. I hope

<v Speaker 1>you enjoyed the review. Let's get into this be the

<v Speaker 1>booker here. We've had some interesting choices that we have

<v Speaker 1>landed on recently. I would love to get a clean

<v Speaker 1>sweep tonight. I would love to give bells and not

<v Speaker 1>buzzers for all of these matches. So I'm putting some

<v Speaker 1>good energy out there here. I have a good feeling

<v Speaker 1>about this. M or maybe not. I don't know. Have

<v Speaker 1>you seen Okay, I don't want to date myself here,

<v Speaker 1>but there was a period I don't know if they

<v Speaker 1>still do this or not, but there was a period

<v Speaker 1>of time where when there was like a child missing,

<v Speaker 1>they would put their face on the side of a

<v Speaker 1>milk carton. I don't know if that's still a thing anymore,

<v Speaker 1>any kind of milk carton that I've bought. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I have, like, you know, almond milk and stuff like

<v Speaker 1>that that I can have. I've never seen anyone's face

<v Speaker 1>on the side of it, but I'd have to make

<v Speaker 1>an exception for these two men. Where the fuck are

<v Speaker 1>the Creed brothers? I mean, where the hell did they

<v Speaker 1>disappeared to? I have no idea, but well, they've disappeared

<v Speaker 1>here to be the booker. I'm doing a better job

<v Speaker 1>of booking them than w W E is. You know

<v Speaker 1>what I think kill the Creeds. It's when Brutus Creed

<v Speaker 1>hurt Damian Priest and they have not been the same

<v Speaker 1>since the Creed brothers against the Smoking Guns. Man. I

<v Speaker 1>was looking for a star attraction here for this tag

<v Speaker 1>team match. You gave me the Smoking Guns against the Creeds.

<v Speaker 1>What are you doing? That's a colisseum video match. What

<v Speaker 1>are you doing to me? What are we doing here?

<v Speaker 1>We have to have better luck with the women's match, please?

<v Speaker 1>Can we Okay? We have Alexa Bliss. Now, I don't

<v Speaker 1>know if you saw. Alexa Bliss did a cameo video

<v Speaker 1>for a fan. It was actually very well done cameo

<v Speaker 1>video and she took the time to talk to this person.

<v Speaker 1>But she mentioned that the Dark Alexa character is officially retired,

<v Speaker 1>so you will not see her as Dark Alexa again

<v Speaker 1>because she feels like it's connected to Bray and so

<v Speaker 1>to preserve that, it's only appropriate that she leave that

<v Speaker 1>in the past. So this will be the only time

<v Speaker 1>that you see Dark Alexa will be here and be

<v Speaker 1>the booker. It's got a drum roll, go in here

<v Speaker 1>find out who her opponent is going to be. We

<v Speaker 1>give you five hundred likes on a Wednesday, and this

<v Speaker 1>is the tag team match you give I didn't give

<v Speaker 1>you anything. I mean, this thing has a mind of

<v Speaker 1>its own. Uh, Lida Lida him be the booker. I

<v Speaker 1>like that match, you know, Lida and Alexa, and that's

<v Speaker 1>a quality match right there. All right, So a little

<v Speaker 1>bit of a recovery there, but it's all how you

<v Speaker 1>finish How are we going to finish this out? Let's

<v Speaker 1>find out? Ooh, you saw him At the beginning of

<v Speaker 1>the review, I was playing a little clip from the

<v Speaker 1>match I did commentary for Andrade against Amazing Red from

<v Speaker 1>our first LA show back in January. Man, that match

<v Speaker 1>was a banger. I just showed you a little tease

<v Speaker 1>at the beginning of the stream. Tonight matches over on

<v Speaker 1>the House of Glory YouTube channel for free. You can

<v Speaker 1>go watch it right now, Well not right now, but

<v Speaker 1>when we're done here, androde l Idelo is gonna be

<v Speaker 1>in our main events against Juician thunder Liger. How's that

<v Speaker 1>for a match? How's that for a match? Androde and Liger?

<v Speaker 1>Hell yeah, so we went two for three, all right,

<v Speaker 1>it's not a sweep, but we we ended up doing okay.

<v Speaker 1>We ended up doing okay. You know what, you guys.

<v Speaker 1>You guys came through tonight. You guys came through tonight

<v Speaker 1>on the on the likes. So I'll tell you what

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do. We're gonna do a bonus round of

<v Speaker 1>be the Booker, just for you guys, just for you

<v Speaker 1>guys hanging around here and killing it on the likes

<v Speaker 1>here on a Wednesday. We're gonna run it back. I'm

<v Speaker 1>gonna I'm gonna pull a jay usso on you and

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna run it back, only this time you're actually

<v Speaker 1>gonna enjoy it. And we're gonna start with some stipulations.

<v Speaker 1>We're gonna add some steps to these matches. That's what

<v Speaker 1>we're gonna do. We're gonna have ourselves a first blood match.

<v Speaker 1>It's right, a bonus round for all of you, all right,

<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have ourselves the first Blood tag team match.

<v Speaker 1>First team to bleed loses, that's how it works. Those

<v Speaker 1>are the rules. FTR. The reigning aw Tag Team Champions

<v Speaker 1>have grace. Oh well, we we already know who's losing

<v Speaker 1>this match. Fucking Dax He's like flame. If you breathe

<v Speaker 1>on him, he starts bleeding. I don't think this match

<v Speaker 1>is going three minutes. First Blood match. Oh wow, FTR

<v Speaker 1>against the Shield, Roman Reigns and Seth Rawleigh. See now,

<v Speaker 1>tell me those belts right there in that image aren't

<v Speaker 1>belts that you would fight for. Those are belts worth

<v Speaker 1>fighting for. Those are what tag team title belts are

<v Speaker 1>supposed to look like. Now were women's match. We need

<v Speaker 1>a stipulation Monsters Ball. Oh I hope we get some

<v Speaker 1>tough ladies in this match because those Monsters balls, those

<v Speaker 1>Monsters balls, those Monsters Ball matches are pretty brutal. You

<v Speaker 1>gotta have the right women in a match like this.

<v Speaker 1>They have to be able to wrestle in the hardcore style. Well,

<v Speaker 1>I don't know about this one. Arianna Grace not somebody

<v Speaker 1>who I would think would be, for example, in a

<v Speaker 1>Hollywood ending type match like Tony Storm and Mariah Mayhand.

<v Speaker 1>I don't see Ariana Grace doing well in a match

<v Speaker 1>like that. I already don't like where this is going.

<v Speaker 1>I already know the button up pushing. Oh wait a minute,

<v Speaker 1>hold on, now, this changes everything. This is the perfect

<v Speaker 1>stipulation for this woman, Tecla, which means we need a tiebreaker.

<v Speaker 1>We have to add one woman to this match and

<v Speaker 1>see if we get a bell or buzzer. Because Techla

<v Speaker 1>see Tecla alone. Tecla would love a monster's ball match.

<v Speaker 1>Ariana Grace, I mean, she'd be in the corner in

<v Speaker 1>the fetal position, crying. We're gonna We're gonna pick one more,

<v Speaker 1>one more woman. We're gonna make it a triple threat.

<v Speaker 1>See Tecla. Tecla changes everything about that. We're definitely giving

<v Speaker 1>this the bell. Holy shit. Now you talk about tough ladies.

<v Speaker 1>What did I say before I even took the first spin?

<v Speaker 1>I said, man, I hope we land on some really

<v Speaker 1>tough women in this match, and I land on May Young.

<v Speaker 1>Holy shit, do May Young and Tecla. These women are

<v Speaker 1>gonna beat the living shit out of each other. It's

<v Speaker 1>gonna be glorious. And Arianna Grace is just gonna sit

<v Speaker 1>in the corner and watch and she'll pick the bones

<v Speaker 1>after they kill each other. This yeah, somehow that's even better. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>oh my god, Well that saved it. May Young is like, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>bring it on, Bring it on, Sonny, bring it on.

<v Speaker 1>And the main event is going to be a lions

<v Speaker 1>Den match. Yeah, Arianna Grace is gonna win. She's gonna

<v Speaker 1>steal the pin. She's gonna win that match. Well, we

<v Speaker 1>got the lions then, all right, here we go. Who's

<v Speaker 1>walking into the lions Den? This should be good. Jeff

<v Speaker 1>Hardy is going to be in the because when I

<v Speaker 1>think of the lions Den, when I think of a

<v Speaker 1>an mm A style cage match, I think of Jeff Hardy.

<v Speaker 1>That's who I think of. This is not gonna end

<v Speaker 1>well for poor Jeff Hardy. Over here, Jeff Hardy and

<v Speaker 1>bron Breaker in a lions Den match, I'm picking the

<v Speaker 1>Steiner to win. That's who I'm picking, poor Jeff. Jeff

<v Speaker 1>does have a new submission move, well, it's not going

<v Speaker 1>to be enough to save him, unfortunately, poor Jeff Hardy.

<v Speaker 1>All Right, we got some more super chats here because

<v Speaker 1>we stayed long, so now we got some more messages

<v Speaker 1>to read. I love it. I love it. This is

<v Speaker 1>the last stream of the week, by the way, so

<v Speaker 1>if you got questions and super chats, get him on in.

<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to be here Friday night. I'm going

<v Speaker 1>to be in Los Angeles. I'm going to be doing

<v Speaker 1>commentary play by play live on Triller TV. Hey, Jason Vega, welcome,

<v Speaker 1>You're joining it just the right time. I'm telling everybody

<v Speaker 1>about the Great House of Glory show on Friday Night,

<v Speaker 1>and I'll be in the booth that we got speaking

<v Speaker 1>of Amazing Red, Amazing Red and Speedball Mike Bailey for

<v Speaker 1>the first time on that show. We're bringing Jonathan Gresham

<v Speaker 1>in to challenge Charles Mason for the hog World title.

<v Speaker 1>Thunder Roses making her debut. We got Zillafat two defending

<v Speaker 1>his titles. Can be hell of a night. So this

<v Speaker 1>will be the final stream of the week. We got EJ.

<v Speaker 1>Slimp says serious question. When Shingo Takagi retires, will he

<v Speaker 1>be remembered more for Dragongate or New Japan? And if

<v Speaker 1>became stateside, which company fits him best? I mean, which

<v Speaker 1>company f it's him best? Probably? Aw which company will

<v Speaker 1>he be remembered more? I mean he spent more time

<v Speaker 1>in dragon Gate. Obviously, me personally, I'll remember him more

<v Speaker 1>for New Japan because I just wasn't following all of

<v Speaker 1>his dragon Gate stuff. If you're a dragon Gate fan,

<v Speaker 1>you probably would say dragon Gate because he spent so

<v Speaker 1>many years there. Yep, we got thunder Roses coming in.

<v Speaker 1>She's gonna be wrestling Britney Brooks. It's gonna be a

<v Speaker 1>good one. We got Crazy wrestling Cody and the Judgment

<v Speaker 1>Day before many of forty you would have been intrigued.

<v Speaker 1>How you are with Osprey joining the Death Riders before

<v Speaker 1>all before all in be impartial? What does that mean?

<v Speaker 1>What does that even mean? The Judgment Day is not

<v Speaker 1>even a ma of infection in this company. I'm not

<v Speaker 1>even sure what comparison you're trying to make here. One

<v Speaker 1>doesn't have anything to do with the other. It's like

<v Speaker 1>people fish around for reasons, like you know, I don't

<v Speaker 1>like this, so therefore nobody can like this. Like, come on, dude,

<v Speaker 1>they're actually telling a story of some sort with will Osprey.

<v Speaker 1>When they don't tell a story, they bitch, they're not

<v Speaker 1>telling a story. When they start telling a story that's

<v Speaker 1>first playing out. Oh, I can't believe they're doing this.

<v Speaker 1>Which is it? It's like a no win It's like

<v Speaker 1>a no win situation. Alex says. If Hog ran a

<v Speaker 1>show Wembley Stadium on the same weekend as WrestleMania, which

<v Speaker 1>show are you covering? You gotta go where the numbers

<v Speaker 1>are going to be, the overall interest is going to

<v Speaker 1>be in WrestleMania. It would be a terrible move on

<v Speaker 1>Aw's part to do that. Don't do that. That would

<v Speaker 1>be a terrible move because even though it might blow

<v Speaker 1>WrestleMania away in terms of n ring, I have no

<v Speaker 1>doubt that it would. That would be a horrible decision

<v Speaker 1>on Aw's part. Ryan says thank you Solo, Thank you, Ryan,

<v Speaker 1>thank you, and Devin with a nine to ninety nine

<v Speaker 1>Thank you Devin. Did Will Smith tank his career with

<v Speaker 1>the Oscar slab or can he still be an atalist

<v Speaker 1>actor in the future. No, he didn't tank his career.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, why just because he can't appear at the

<v Speaker 1>Oscars for like ten years or whatever it is, Who

<v Speaker 1>gives a shit. It doesn't stop him from going out

<v Speaker 1>and making quality films. I don't think he he's necessarily

<v Speaker 1>hurting for work. He's not blackballed. Of course, he can

<v Speaker 1>still be an a list actor. I just watching the

<v Speaker 1>other day on one of the channels that movie Enemy

<v Speaker 1>of the State came on with him and Gene Hackman.

<v Speaker 1>I always liked that movie, so I was watching that again.

<v Speaker 1>Will Smith can make Oscar worthy movies and still not attend. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>I mean that's boss man he can make. He can

<v Speaker 1>make a quality film and say I'm not showing up.

<v Speaker 1>I don't give a shit. That's a boss move. Solo.

<v Speaker 1>Did you see Batman twenty twenty two? I have not. However,

<v Speaker 1>I am flying to Los Angeles on Friday and I

<v Speaker 1>have it loaded up on my iPad. I actually I

<v Speaker 1>have it downloaded offline in the HBO Max app. So

<v Speaker 1>I think my plan. I never saw the Mortal Kombat

<v Speaker 1>movie from five years ago, like I saw the original

<v Speaker 1>from the nineties. I actually stayed away from the Mortal

<v Speaker 1>Kombat movie from twenty twenty one because people told me

<v Speaker 1>that it was terrible, so I never saw. But now

<v Speaker 1>that I'm going to see the new one, I kind

<v Speaker 1>of feel like, for continuity, I think I probably have

<v Speaker 1>to see the one from five years ago. So I'm

<v Speaker 1>gonna watch that on the flight in and then on

<v Speaker 1>the flight home, I'm gonna watch The Batman. So Friday,

<v Speaker 1>Friday or Saturday, I should finally see The Batman and

<v Speaker 1>then I can report back to you. This movie is

<v Speaker 1>two hours and fifty six minutes long. I finally found

<v Speaker 1>a way to kill time on a six hour flight.

<v Speaker 1>I can watch The Batman. This fucking movie is so

<v Speaker 1>long it will kill literally half of my flight from

<v Speaker 1>LA back to New York. But hey, that's okay with me,

<v Speaker 1>don't watch it. Well, even if the Mortal Combat movie

<v Speaker 1>is terrible, this one looks really good this new one.

<v Speaker 1>So that's okay. If this one is terrible, then the

<v Speaker 1>new one will look that much better when I go

<v Speaker 1>see it. Yeah, clay Face looks amazing. I almost don't

<v Speaker 1>want to watch the proper trailer when it because that

<v Speaker 1>was just a teaser trailer and it looks incredible. So

<v Speaker 1>when the official trailer drops, I almost like don't want

<v Speaker 1>to watch it. I want to try to avoid it

<v Speaker 1>because they give so much away in these trailers. Sometimes

<v Speaker 1>they give the whole fucking movie away. That teaser trailer

<v Speaker 1>was just creepy enough to where I kind of want

<v Speaker 1>to keep it creepy where I don't. I don't fully

<v Speaker 1>know what's going on in the movie, but I'll probably

<v Speaker 1>cave end up watching it anyway. Chicago for MBK, have

<v Speaker 1>a great rest of your week. Thank you, brother, you too. Yeah,

<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of work to do a lot of

<v Speaker 1>a lot of stuff going on before I head out

<v Speaker 1>on Friday, and then I come back pretty late on Saturday,

<v Speaker 1>and then I got to turn around and do the

<v Speaker 1>show on Sunday. I have no idea how prepared I'll be,

<v Speaker 1>but we will be doing backlash predictions, So even though

<v Speaker 1>we don't have the full card yet, I will be

<v Speaker 1>doing backlash predictions on the podcast on Sunday. Talking about

<v Speaker 1>the news of the week. Actually, there's a lot of

<v Speaker 1>Nick con quotes to talk about and to get into

<v Speaker 1>from this town hall that wwe had the other day,

<v Speaker 1>so we'll talk about that as well. But yeah, it's

<v Speaker 1>gonna be a very busy week and weekend. So thank

<v Speaker 1>you guys for hanging out with me. Final stream of

<v Speaker 1>the week. I appreciate it again if you have not

<v Speaker 1>always a link to the main sound Off podcast link

<v Speaker 1>and for the on Crime Wrestling show. You're wondering where

<v Speaker 1>to go? Hey Jay Vargas, what's going on? He says,

<v Speaker 1>I lost my grandmother this past Monday at ninety eight

<v Speaker 1>years old due to natural causes, and I do miss

<v Speaker 1>her dearly. Plus I was crying yesterday in dealing with grief.

<v Speaker 1>I'm very sorry to hear about your grandmother. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I can't Unfortunately, you can't relate in my family because

<v Speaker 1>so many of the people in my family didn't even

<v Speaker 1>make it out of their freaking fifties, let alone like sixties.

<v Speaker 1>Sounds like your grandmother lived a nice long life and

<v Speaker 1>it's gonna suck for a while. It's a shitty feeling.

<v Speaker 1>I'm very sorry to hear that. Anyway, be well, stay

<v Speaker 1>safe and come on back on Monday, I guess is

<v Speaker 1>the next time. I'll be here live on the channel,

<v Speaker 1>and we'll see you this weekend for the sound off

<v Speaker 1>as well, and hopefully I get to see some of

<v Speaker 1>you in La. I don't get out to La very often.
